Our Teams Execute Solutions To Problems

Michael K. Clifford has been an entrepreneur since his first paper route at age 13. Michael has made and lost tens of millions of dollars.He believes one’s failures are more valuable than success. MKC Advisor serves as a “VentureCatalyst™.” We work with successful CEO’s who want to buy operating companies, families who desire to invest alongside high-quality private equity firms, business owners who want to sell their businesses or inject growth capital, because we love education, regionally accredited higher education leaders that desire to expand access plus get surplus cash-flow, and charities desirous of monetization strategies/relationships to augment donations.

Performance Based

MKC Advisor is a global advisory firm that works exclusively with the Board’s, Investors, Donors, and President’s/CEO’s providing strategic counsel powered by high-value relationships to turn around or increase top line revenue for institutions/companies.

Cosmology

Our real joy as entrepreneurs has been the catalyst to help create thousands of high paying jobs, $1.2B invested in real estate for schools, graduated hundreds of thousands of students with billions of dollars in return to institutions as well as investors.

Confidential

We can help you get the results you need. All it takes is an initial phone call so we can learn more about you and your company or institution. We’ve worked in dozens of industries and verticals and we believe our expertise can be a vital asset.

Dedicated to Advising Leaders of Organizations in a Multitude of Industries

Our expert teams understand that there are significant opportunities as well as equally significant risks involved each time a CEO, Profit or Nonprofit, or business leader makes a difficult, course-setting or course-changing decision. MKC Advisor teams operate under the premise that while the duties and essential roles of today’s company leaders have largely stayed consistent over the past 30 years, the backdrop and setting in which those leaders operate has changed dramatically and in ways that few could have predicted during that time.

We have seen that the complexity and diversity of the issues that most of today’s business leaders face tend to surface, grow and evolve faster than many are prepared for. With the speed of information, the ever-growing multi-layered intricacies of national and international regulations, and the unprecedented evolution of tech, the only thing that’s becoming more clear, is how unclear it can be to make the right moves to propel a business forward.

That’s where specific expert teams deployed by MKC Advisor comes in. We help get the dust settled so we can look at real data to inform and design custom strategies that will raise capital, donations, and/or maximize enterprise, stakeholder and shareholder value.

Our expertise is in performance-based business development
